The Story

Custom Shop BTO 8 String Baritone Grand Symphony Mahogany Acoustic Guitar Natural

Baritone guitars are known for their rich low-end sound, and this Taylor is no exception! Custom ordered from Taylor for The Music Zoo, this Baritone Grand Symphony model has double courses for the 3rd and 4th strings for a brightness that perfectly compliments the low-end bloom of this baritone. The guitar features a Sitka Spruce top with Blackwood back and sides for a great blend of brightness and meaty low-mids. The Mahogany neck is topped with a 19 fret Ebony fingerboard inlaid with Mother-of-Pearl diamonds.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Black Pickguard (uninstalled), Hang Tags, Certificate of Authenticity, Build Sheet, Paperwork
